An eco-profile of thermoplastic protein derived from blood meal Part 1: allocation issues
(Springer, 2011)Purpose A renewable thermoplastic called Novatein Thermoplastic Protein (NTP) has been developed from blood meal—a low-value by-product of the meat processing industry. The aim of this research was to develop a non-renewable ... -
The eco-profile of thermoplastic protein derived from bloodmeal
(The University of Waikato, 2010)Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method that can be used to evaluate the eco-profile of a product over a portion of its life cycle. Novatein Thermoplastic Protein (NTP) is a second generation bio-based polymer being developed ... -
An ecoprofile of thermoplastic protein derived from blood meal Part 2: thermoplastic processing
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-03)Purpose The purpose of this research was to develop a nonrenewable energy and greenhouse gas emissions ecoprofile of thermoplastic protein derived from blood meal (Novatein thermoplastic protein; NTP). This was intended ... -
Effect of oxidative treatment on the secondary structure of decoloured bloodmeal
(2014)Bloodmeal can be decoloured using peracetic acid resulting in a material with a pale-yellow colour which only needs sodium dodecyl sulphate, water and triethylene glycol to extrude into a semi-transparent bioplastic. ... -
Identifying transition temperatures in bloodmeal-based thermoplastics using material pocket DMTA
(Springer, 2012)Bloodmeal can be used to manufacture thermoplastics, but requires water, urea, sodium sulphite, and sodium dodecyl sulphate to modify chain mobility. Transition temperatures of bloodmeal, modified bloodmeal, and processed ...

Effects of Drying Conditions on Protein Properties of Blood meal
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Blood meal is a by-product of the meat industry produced through drying of animal blood. It contains about 85 wt.% proteins. Drying has been used as a method to preserve biomaterials and involves lowering of the water ... -
The Effect of Moisture Content and Extrusion Temperature on the Processing, Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Novatein®
(University of Waikato, 2015)The recent effect of petroleum based synthetic plastic on economy and environment has led to ever increasing study of renewable natural polymers such as proteins. Novatein Thermoplastic (NTP) is a protein based thermoplastic ...
